In case you didn’t know, it’s International Talk Talk Day, April 5. To celebrate, listen to as much Talk Talk as possible. Mark Hollis might be gone from this earth, but his art endures and always will.
If you don’t own any Talk Talk, you’re in for a treat. I would give a lot to hear TT for the first time, again! You can order everyone of their studio albums from the best music store anywhere, Burning Shed.
April 5 lyrics (from COLOUR OF SPRING) by Mark Hollis:
Here she comes
Silent in her sound
Here she comes
Fresh upon the ground
Come gentle spring
Come at winter’s end
Gone is the pallor from a promise that’s nature’s gift
Waiting for the color of spring
Let me breathe
Let me breathe the color of spring
Here she comes
Laughter in her kiss
Here she comes
Shame upon her lips
Come wanton spring
Come for birth you live
Youth takes it’s bow before the summer the seasons bring
Waiting for the color of spring
Let me
Let me breathe
Let me breathe you
Let me breathe
Let me breathe you
Let me breathe
Spirit of Cecilia
